* TheStarscream: Starting from book 2, [[EvilSorceror Wizard]] [[BigBad Risto]] to [[{{Satan}} Pretender]]. You get the feeling Burner Stox and Crim Copper would have become this to Wizard Risto, except that [[TheObiWan Wizard]] [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Fenworth]] [[spoiler: [[CurbStompBattle took]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Risto out]]]] a book or two too early.

* LightningBruiser: Regidor. The Meech Dragon. The first time anyone sees him fight... they realize how glad they are not to be his enemies. Kale: "He moves like a lizard." Bardon: "Agile like a lizard!" Toopka: "Don't say that: he might not like it!" To clarify why Regidor is so terrifying: he is about seven feet tall, incredibly muscular, has a tail as a fifth limb, is an absolute genius who thinks faster than you ever could and could probably learn everything there is to know about fighting in a week, and [[BreathWeapon breathes fire]]. Oh, and he later learns to fly.

A new series has begun that is set in the same world, but at a different place and time. This series follows the adventures of Tipper, a young Emerlindian girl. Two books have been published so far, ''The Vanishing Sculptor'' and ''Dragons of the Valley''.

* AuraVision: Regidor and a very few Minor Dragons have the ability to see people's souls. [[BigGood Paladin]] probably has something like this, too. But ordinary Wizards, such as [[TheProtagonist Kale]], occasionally can see darkness coming off of [[BigBad sufficiently evil characters]].

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Fenworth. "How do you do the water spell, again?" "Is it one part hydrogen to two parts oxygen?" And then he drowns all the enemies. Taken UpToEleven when he kills Wizard Risto, absentmindedly remarking "[[PreAssKickingOneLiner I've never liked him]], [[Framiliar Thorp]]." KillItWithFire Ensues.

* BeneathTheMask: Bardon, who at first looks stuck up, self-righteous, arrogant, and a jerk. Not entirely false, actually, but his heart is a whole lot better than his face. He still wears a stoic mask on occasions where he's likely to be judged for his [[HalfHumanHybrid parentage]].

* BadassGrandpa: Fenworth. Though more like great-great-great[[MCHammer ^e^mc^2]] grandpa.

Even [[spoiler: Kale]], given long enough.
